The four pillars of investing

Book • 2002
This book provides a detailed approach to investing by emphasizing four essential pillars.

The first pillar, investment theory, explains the relationship between risk and return and the importance of diversification.

The second pillar, history, highlights the importance of understanding past market trends to make informed decisions.

The third pillar, psychology, addresses the behavioral biases that can affect investment decisions.

The fourth pillar, business, discusses the financial industry and how to navigate it effectively by minimizing costs and avoiding biased advice.

Bernstein advocates for a long-term, buy-and-hold strategy using passively managed index funds and emphasizes the need to control costs and ignore most investment media.
